    Anybody tried the new Dunlop dual compound tire? I had the D208's and just installed the dual compound rear. The front was still pretty good.

    Mileage of the 208's was not impressive. Maybe 3-4k.

    Any experience would be appreciated.

    I haven't tried them, but I have used and still use the Qualifier that replaced the D208. So far I love it and get about 5500 to 6000 miles out of a rear tire. I might try the new Mich's when it is time to put new sneakers on my bike.

    The 208's that came on my sport bike lasted about 3500 miles.

    The new AMA magazine has an Dunlop Roadsmart tire ad featuring...?

    A 6th gen VFR on what looks like part of the Dragon.

    Finally, an ad that made me smile!

    I'm also looking for a new tire. Did some searching on the posts here and the Dunlop Roadsmart seems to be well rated amongst our group. I'm going to be looking to buy that one for this season.
